Illustrator.Cosplayer.SpecialEffectsMakeupArtist.
I am a freelance illustrator from the New York metro area. I paint mainly horror, sci-fi, and fantasy. Also I do low budget special effects makeup and some photography on the side. At times I even do cosplays, in which I make and dress up as a character from a video game, movie, or tv show.
This blog is of my art and interests.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Anime Boston outfits
The top and bottom outfits were what I wore to dinner Friday and Saturday night. The tops are from Forever 21 and the high waisted shorts are from Betty Page clothing. I forgot the wig places, that’s bad since I bought the mint one at that con. haha
The middle one is of course my Queen of hearts cosplay minus my big ass hoop skirt. You can see it on the floor next to me in the full body shot.
Dear H&M,
What the fuck is this? A boring black top with a bright pink zipper down the center. Who thought this would be good? And especially, who thought this would be good just for their plus size dept?!
STOP PUTTING ELASTIC BANDS ON PLUS SIZE PANTS!!!
And another thing, Target, your maternity section bleeds into the plus section. Stop that! Also why is it, the women’s dept, then maternity, and plus all the way at the end with 4 little racks of potato sacks for us to choose from?
Make your close fit larger women correctly. christ.
Wore purple jeans today. Felt like the Hulk. I had forgotten and when I’d look down and I thought “ahh! Colours!” Forever 21 jeans. They fit well. I just wish that the waist cinched in more. I have that “diet commercial” excess.
With new episodes starting up tomorrow. I wore my awesome I <3 Daryl shirt today.
Blazer: Forever 21 2x
Shirt: 2xl, it’s ridiculously fitted.
Pants: Tripp NYC, 16
The shirt’s so fitted I have boobs. Whoo! Hahaa
A couple of years ago I wouldn’t have imagined myself blogging about this. Really. I notice a lot of stores nowadays are starting to have their own plus size sections. That’s great and all, but some places don’t know how to fit us bigger girls. Places like Target and H&M just make the clothes bigger, but with no shape. Just tents for us to wear. Above are 3 pairs of skinny jeans by 3 different companies that I own.
- First row is from Forever 21, Regular Length Skinny Jeans. Couldn’t find the same colour on the website, but it’s the same style. They’re comfy, but it’s very loose in the waist region and part of the ass region. My thighs feel tight but yet my pants feel as if they’re constantly falling even with a belt. They’re only $14 so they’re great for work and everyday stuff.
- Second row is from Tripp NYC, The Black Skinny Pant. They’re very fitted but not tight. Moving around is easy and it gives you a great silhouette. A bit tight on the calves, but that’s because I have thick calves from years of ice hockey. haha I got them on sale for $30 and they’re worth that price. Originally they’re about $48, but it’s worth the investment because I own a lot of clothes from Tripp and it’s very durable.
- Third row is from Torrid, Sophia Skull Print Skinny Jeans. I couldn’t find the jeans on their site but found a similar pair. These are also quite fitted with some stretch in the fabric. I guess if you’re going to be doing lots of lunges. haha These have the best parts of the other 2 pair: fit and flexibility without having a saggy ass look. More like dat ass. haha These are originally $68 and I got them for $50.
I know a lot of girls out there feel that Torrid’s overpriced and I do agree, but sometimes it’s good to pay more for better quality and fitting. The models on those sites are usually a size 14, I’m a 16, was an 18, whooo!! Ninja Turtle diet is working!!
There’s a lot of my ass in this post. hahaha!!
you have abutt
hah yes, I have a butt.

Yes, I can be a girl. I was actually trying on heels which is why I actually took the picture. I have big man feet so I can never find nice stuff in my size. Those heels were boring. I was actually wearing white Creepers with this outfit.
Shirt = thrifted, lane bryant size 16/18
Waist cincher = corset chick size 3x
Shorts = torrid size 16
Creepers (not pictured) = Anarchy size uk 10
Target needs to learn how to do their plus size line correctly. Just because you make it bigger doesn’t mean it’ll look fine. This is their size 1 (16/18). The jacket’s not cinched at the waist at all and it makes me look bigger. Not to mention shoulder pads. Which I generally hate because I naturally have broad shoulders. The shirts are just big tents. The dresses have no shape to them. Just a tarp you put on because no one wants to see you, apparently.
I got myself a new jacket today. 90% of my clothes are nerd related. Whether they’re music/movie/comic related it’s pretty nerdy. hahaha This jacket is mad comfy, I’m really glad that when I went to go zip it up, it wasn’t too tight. So now I have a jacket that will make me look normal and not covered in badges and patches.
I didn’t expect to find something at this sample sale at Nygard’s. This was originally priced at full retail of $99. I got it for $40 no tax. The moment I saw a sign that said plus sizes available, I went “gotta go in!!”
This also came in an aqua blue, pink, and white. Of course I went with black. hhaha
